Kisa leaned against the rubble weakly, staring at the figure shrouded in a faint light. She did not dare to move. She feared that the figure would disappear like a bubble if she moved.'I'm having a hallucination. Am I dying? But… At least I get to see him.'Suddenly, Kisa did not feel so afraid or helpless anymore.She smiled at the figure and muttered, "Will you blame me for not protecting our child?"The man appeared in front of her as soon as she said that. He knelt down and stared at her without blinking. Under the faint light from the phone's flashlight function, the man's black eyes looked like coal.Kisa looked carefully into his eyes; there was resentment behind it. She then could not help but smile sadly and said, "I guess I really hurt your feelings, huh? Look at you. You look so angry still, in my imagination."All of a sudden, Kisa burst into tears. "I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you, Gilbert. I didn't mean it…"While she said that, she reached o
"Kisa… Where are you? Kisa…"Kelvin kept calling her name and dug through the dirt and rubble with his bare hands. After a while, his hands were covered in blood. "You can't die on us, Kisa. What will Gilbert do if you're dead? How is he going to live without you? Kisa… Please be okay… Kisa…" His eyes were red with tears as he roared frantically into the ruins.Adrien stood aside, smoking a cigarette and surveying at the damage thoughtfully. 'Is that woman really dead? How will I keep up this game if she's dead?'He narrowed his eyes coldly, and he seemed irritated."You lot, go and look for them. Make sure you rescue Mr. Mullen Sr. and Mrs. Kooper," Adrien ordered the bodyguards behind him.He then walked toward Mrs. Mullen Sr. and said, "Are you alright, Mrs. Mullen Sr.?"The old lady shook her head but covered her face and cried, "I'm fine, but my husband…""That was scary. How could the basement collapse like that?" Lydia said with lingering fear as she clutched her chest.
Kelvin was agitated and asked, "Where is she? Is she okay? Is she safe?" Adrien was also staring at Anthony at that point, nervous about finding out the answer. He did not want Kisa to die just like that.Anthony was silent for a long time. When he started to speak, his voice was weak. "Gilbert took her out of there, but I'm unsure if she's alive.""Gilbert? How can he be here? Are you toying with me?" Kelvin asked, taken aback by what he heard. Anthony did not pay any attention to him. Instead, he just stared at Mr. Mullen Sr.'s lifeless body in a daze, and everyone in the Mullen family fell into a mourning state.Adrien looked toward the horizon of the ruins thoughtfully. 'Seems like there's another exit in this basement that even that old man did not know about. Sara, Sara, Sara. I've underestimated you…''Thank god Gilbert saved Kisa, though. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to return to his side.' The corners of Adrien's lips curled when he thought about it. His eyes da
"It's okay. You can kill me whenever you get the chance. I'm tired of you being loving one second and not the other. I don't want to fight for us anymore."Kisa frowned as she looked at the man. 'What does he mean by that? Was he actually hurt by what I said that day? Does he no longer want this relationship with me?'Suddenly, Gilbert stretched out his hand and stroked her belly with his slender fingers for a while. "However, I'll still have you by my side for the sake of this child," he said."You can go wherever you like when the child is born. I won't care about you anymore. Even if you face something as tragic as what just happened, you'll be on your own."Kisa blankly stared at the hand that was lingering on her stomach. Subconsciously, she reached out to grab it, but the man withdrew his touch. Kisa's hand stopped in mid-air, empty and lonely.She wanted to explain everything to Gilbert, but if Adrien and his evil plans were still in action, they would never be able to live
Everyone in the Mullen family was shocked when they found out that 50% of the family's property and business shares were given to Anthony. Albert got 10%, while Leon, Isaac, and Joe each got only 5%. Meanwhile, Vivian got 15%, and finally Mrs. Mullen Sr. got 10%.Kisa was also taken aback when she heard about the distribution of the inheritance. She looked at Kelvin and asked, "Are you sure? The distribution numbers seem rather unreasonable. Doesn't this mean that Anthony is now the head of the Mullen family? Wasn't he the most unfavorable one out of them all?""Yeah. That's why the other sons of the Mullen family went crazy. They're saying that he killed Mr. Mullen Sr. and forged the will. Leon, Isaac, and Joe are planning to join forces and sue Anthony."Kisa frowned. "What happened next? There hasn't been any news from the Mullen family in the past half a month. Has the inheritance dispute been resolved?""The only reason there hasn't been any news is that Anthony had something
Kisa slowly looked up and saw Gilbert's indifferent handsome face. She had been recuperating in the villa for over half a month now and saw the man day and night. The man had never smiled at her during the time she was there.Even though the two slept on the same bed, they had their backs facing each other, which made Kisa feel lonely and bitter. However, she did not say a word about his indifference and had no right to blame him. All she could do was bear it in silence.'I have to figure out Adrien's true purpose before telling him anything,' she thought.Kelvin had come over several times and noticed that Gilbert was upset. Seeing the gloomy expression on the man's face, Kelvin walked over to him tactfully with the help of his crutch. His leg had been injured when the basement had collapsed the other day, but it was not as serious as Kisa's injury. He was still able to walk around with his crutches, while Kisa had to sit in a wheelchair."I'll visit you in a few days, Kisa. Ms. M
"Then I'll feed you!"After saying that, Gilbert raised her chin with one of his hands, forcing her to look up. Before Kisa could say anything, the man pried her mouth open with two fingers. The woman was in pain and wanted to shout at him, but the man had no mercy. He poured the chicken soup directly into her mouth.Although his actions were rough, the soup did not splash out of Kisa's mouth. It wasn't until she was forced to swallow that the man let her go. Kisa started to choke and cough non-stop as her stomach began to churn. She then bent over and started to hurl. However, nothing came out of her. She caressed her own chest while she suffered.'F*ck me. This man must think I was only pretending to throw up all this while, huh?'Just as she expected, the man took a few steps back and looked at her with a sneer. "Didn't you say you can't drink it? Why were you able to down it without any issues then?"Kisa's face was red, making her pale face look livelier. She held onto the ar
"My eyes fooled me? What do you mean? Do you think I'm so crazy that I couldn't even recognize Sara? Or do you think that I'm intentionally putting the blame on her? Huh?""That's not what I'm saying, Kisa." Kelvin frowned and said, "It's just… There's no way that Sara would hide there. And, even if what you say is true, even if she was really there, there's no way she's capable of doing those things. She's so kind; she wouldn't even dream of hurting a fly. There's no way she could have done all that to put our life in danger."'Hah. Even Kelvin has a high opinion of her. Gilbert, who has always seen her as an angel, would never believe me.' Kisa suddenly became a little frustrated.She lowered her head and said weakly, "You should go."Kelvin felt for her when he saw how dejected she looked. When they were younger, Gilbert had always treated this woman coldly, which made him dislike her as well. He had always thought that Gilbert and Sara would end up together. After knowing that
